comme la fleur fauchée (drying out then drowning blindly) by spicy_potsticker_bliss

Summary
Now that Alfred really thought about it, Dick's choice of bouquet was a bit odd. Weren’t lilies generally considered funeral flowers?
White chrysanthemums, too, symbolized grief. Death. Endings.
The crystal vase slipped from Alfred’s fingers and shattered on the tile floor with an ear-splitting crash.
He hardly noticed. His gaze was still fixed on the purple hyacinths clustered around the outside of the bouquet.
Their meaning? I’m sorry.
Or: Alfred receives a bouquet of flowers from Dick as an early birthday gift. Interpreting their floral language meaning sends him and Bruce into a panic.

Summary
“Robin? You good?” Jason asked.
Oh, he definitely knew. Damian stiffened. “Fine.”
Jason didn’t let the faceless helmet stop him from giving a fierce side-eye.“No injuries? Minor scrapes?”
Now Damian was lying through his teeth. “Not one.”
The next thing Damian knew, he was being scooped into Jason’s arms.
Or: 5 times Damian suffered the weight of his own touch starvation (in increasingly desperate circumstances) +1 time he had the courage to ask.

Summary
"Red Robin. This better be an emergency," Jason gritted out.
The signal was crackly and unstable. Wherever he was, it was somewhere remote, "I mean, I guess it could wait. I probably have like an hour or two worth of oxygen if I don't panic."
"You---what? Where the hell are you?" Jason was already climbing back out of his window.
"Uh, I kinda got trapped by a cave-in. I tried to clear a tunnel, but it was still unstable. It’s not too bad, though.”
"Not too bad?!" Jason was shouting now, "You're trapped in a---wait, fuck, stop talking. You'll use up all your air! Just stay calm, I'm on my way.
Or: 5 times Jason saved his brothers + 1 time they saved him

Summary
“What the hell is your problem?” Dick demands, yanking his arm back. “I was working.”
“That’s what you call working? He had his hands all over you like a piece of meat. You should be thanking me.”
“That’s how an interrogation works, idiot. People give up information more freely when their inhibitions are lowered.”
“If that’s how you interrogate, then I’d hate to see your torture techniques.” Jason stalks off toward the car they arrived in, one of Bruce’s less conspicuous vehicles that they “borrowed” for the night. He opens the driver’s side door and slams it behind him. “Get in the fucking car.”

Summary
“Dick?” Bruce says.
“Hm?” His mouth is full of waxy sugar.
“Where are your clothes?”
Dick is wearing the original Robin costume from his early days in the boots and cape. The outfit is at least two sizes too small, the cape only reaching the small of his back. Upon further inspection, Bruce can see that he waxed his legs for this. Jesus Christ.
